Who Really Cheats More? The Shifting Truth About Infidelity in Modern Relationships

Infidelity is something that has always been treated with gender bias, whereas the current studies have indicated that the truth behind it is much more complicated. Although men continue to report higher incidences of cheating in general, the difference between men and women is increasingly decreasing- especially among the younger generations. It has been caused by the change in social norms, increased independence, and changes in the expectations which relationships place on us.

Nowadays, cheating is not gender-related but rather is more about emotional and situational aspects. Absence of communication, emotional disengagement, dissatisfaction, travelling to work and greater connectivity to the digital world contribute significantly. The social media and personal messaging applications have simplified the process of getting emotionally involved with another person, and sometimes it is hard to distinguish between friendship and infidelity. The scholars all agree that emotional needs, which are not met, and unresolved conflicts are some of the most important factors that lead to infidelity.

The celebrity culture tends to boost the public discourse on cheating. The high profile relationship matters attract a lot of discussion and the issues affect the way the society perceives loyalty and commitment. These tales are indicative of the manner in which the modern age is defining the nature of trust and relationships.
